2. The Internet: A Data-Driven World
Global Reach
As of January 2018, there were over 4.021 billion Internet
users worldwide.
Diverse Data Sources
Data is generated by humans and non-human sources,
including sensors, automated systems, and devices.

3. Structured Data: Order and
Organization
1 Defined Structure
Data is organized in a pre-
defined format, often
associated with Relational
Database Management
Systems (RDBMS).
2 Typical Examples
Flight/train reservations,
banking systems, and
inventory controls leverage
structured data.

4. Unstructured Data: The
Unbound Format
Variety of Sources
Human-generated data
includes text, emails, videos,
images, and social media
posts.
Machine-Generated
Data
Machine-generated data
encompasses sensor data,
satellite imagery, and
surveillance videos.

5. Data Formats in AIML:
Understanding the
Relevance
Structured Data
Structured data forms the
foundation for supervised
learning models, enabling the
creation of datasets for predictive
modeling.
Unstructured Data
Unstructured data is crucial for
natural language processing
(NLP), computer vision, and audio
analysis in AIML.

6. Structured Data in Depth:
Tools and Applications
1 Key Tools
SQL is used for database queries and management,
while libraries like Pandas and SQLAlchemy facilitate
integration with AIML models.
2 AIML Applications
Structured data powers training datasets for regression,
classification, and clustering tasks.

7. Unstructured Data in Depth:
Tools and Applications
Key Tools
NLP libraries like NLTK and SpaCy, and computer vision
tools like OpenCV and TensorFlow, are used to process
unstructured data.
AIML Applications
Unstructured data enables text sentiment analysis, image
recognition, and audio transcription.

8. Challenges in Data Management: Volume, Velocity,
Variety, Veracity
1
Volume
